Hi Pat, I do not think anyone means anything offensive by it. It just shortens what folks have to type out. English tends to make people want to do that...ASAP for example means As soon as possible. I am sure there are many more.
There are probably places on here that explain most of them but just to help you here are a few. It is just part of the sewing lingo.
WIP- work in progress
OBW - one block wonder
QAYG quilt as you go
UFO - un - finished object
BSS - basic sewing supplies..(our guild uses this a lot when announcing a class. 'bring BSS')
I am sure other folks can add some more.
Hope this helps.
